In industry terms
(cost per thousand impressions) — competitive with premium CTV, and well below broadcast TV primetime.
Final pricing depends on the 2026 release calendar — premium spots adjacent to tentpole releases (Avengers: Doomsday, Dune Part Three, Toy Story 5) command higher rates than standard weeks. Not available for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, cannabis, or political advertising.
